This week Rory Shields join us for episode 2 of An Evening with Rory.  

Rory is never short of something to say, and this can be a safe place for him to get it off his chest. The last time we spoke, there was a little bit of a theme that was focused on how Rory got here and his experience From a young age he would read a lot of Sunday newspapers for content and was a sponge for information. He would watch carefully overseas politics. He has always been interested in the political structure, how it works and how it affects people. On these special edition of podcasts Rory and I will talk about his thoughts and opinions about current affairs and random thoughts.
